Gypsy lament

G     D        Em
 Sleep well, my Love
G      D         Em
 Sleep while the night sky weaves her spell
G     D        Em
 Sleep without pain
G      D       Em
 Sleep though I yearn to have you near me
C            D
 The flames of all you were
     G               Em
Have vanished in the ground
C              D           Em
 Sweet scented rosemary is scattered all around

G     D        Em
 Wait just a while
G      D         Em
 For in no time we'll meet again
G      D        Em
 Though you were gone
G   D     Em
 Before we wed
       C            D          G            Em
I give blood to you earth, not take it to his own
C          D
 No fire or water deep
      Em
Shall keep this bride from him

G   D       Em
 He left me while
G    D         Em
 The seas were wild against the shore
G     D       Em
 What foolish thief
G      D    Em
 Would dare defy the hand of fate?

C           D          G           Em
 I love you now as I'll never love again
C          D
 The rocks beneath my feet
     Em
Have sunken deep

C        D
 Earth to earth
   G                 Em
My love my own shall be
C             D
 Grow like the willow tree
    Em
No sadness bring to me
C        D       G     Em
 He the man, and I the woman
C           D
 My love to me
           Em
This shall be
